hi;

how can i do the following:
1- run a C program from a python script
2- pass that C program an argument
3- Read the out of the program into a buffer that is local to the script

in addition to the other approaches:
if you want only a few specific lines of c you can inline the code.
google for scipy, weave, inline and python
